It was Windows6.1-KB2781272-x64.msu that fixed most of my problems. Once I got 'windows updates' running again I had 193 updates. That took about 5 hours. Then another 90 or so updates, another 2 hours, then 4 update, then 2 then finally just silverlight. Then I found I couldn't backup any computers because EFI is not recognized without the Windows6.1-KB2781272-x64.msu update. Then I found you can only backup a 'c drive' if that drive has the EUFI partition. Had to create mock partitions on a few computers, got there in the end. Drivepool is away and humming, but I have less than 1 TB of my original nearly 16 TB. I will have to slowly pull back items from across the Internet plus I have a few backup computers around the world that have some but not all of what I lost.

FIXED: A full re-install, then manually installing various KBs from the Microsoft catalogue, then installing .Net 4.5 was possible. Once that was installed, a reboot and DrivePool installed successfully. It looks like ‘windows update’ on a clean WHS2011 does not work anymore so now it makes it hard to keep this machine up-to-date.

I downloaded .net4.5 as a standalone install and that worked. I then rebooted. I then tried to install drivepool 2.0 and got: [15D0:15D4][2021-08-10T15:08:40]i011: Launched elevated engine process.

Should I uninstall everything, or maybe reformat my disks and re-install WHS2011 from the original DVD again?

I uninstalled everything I found with the Microsoft tool and started again. I saw Drivepool spend ages installing .Net 4.5 and then eventually it failed withg this error: "0x800b0109 - A certificate chain processed, but terminated in a root certificate that is not trusted by the trust provider" next steps?

Tried the microsoft link but it just gives me a huge list of options, almost all listed as the 'C++ redistributable' a lot of which have 'false' on the end of the string. Should I remove everything and start again?

Which is why I mentioned I had rebooted many times in my message as all the google hits said a pending reboot was the cause of the error message. I will try the microsoft support link, thanks Simon

I have read pages of this forum and screeds of google sceens but no-one seems to have an answer as to what to do about DrivePool no longer installing on WHS2011. I have rebooted a zilliion times. Checked everything as this is a brand new rebuild of the WHS2011 server. I even managed to get Drivepool v1 and Scanner 2 to install perfectly. But version 2 (and I tried a lot from the archives) fails every time with "0x80070643 Fatal Error during installation" The log file just says "failed to install MSI Package" What more can I do? I really feel like I need a WSSX version, as my last DrivePool ran from inside Dashboard and allwoed updates right up to a month ago. thanks Simon

Nevermind. I repeated the last advice to delete everything in ProgramData and then in AppData and this time it worked, probably because I searched appData and manually deleted every single file. I restarted Scanner and entered my license freshly and this time it took it.

My stablebit scanner is greyed out and asks for "start license transfer" I check my license number and hit "update license" and it responds "license transferred" but I am no further forward. Everything is still greyed out and "transfer license" is up again
